Catalogue Essay
Reference 2508 was launched in 1951, and ceased production around 1960. While the model was typically cased in yellow gold, it was very rarely cased in pink gold. The present watch is cased in pink gold with a wonderful silvered dial. The case furthermore features bold and original proportions. Featuring a sharp hallmark to the band, this example embodies the minimalistic elegance of Patek Philippe's 'vintage time-only' wristwatches.
